MBB: American Rivers Conference

[Walston Hoover]

The atmosphere at the west gym will be less than inpsiring. Don't set your sites too high.

I don't know, it's Blackout Saturday.

Does that mean if I wear blue someone will knock my lights out!!!

Even if the atmosphere is less than inspiring I look forward to this.  The IIAC...or Div. III in general is fun to watch.

I've got your back doolittle. I'll have my blue on too. Bring on the Knights.

[Kohawk Krazy]

A couple of big games tomorrow.  Kohawks vs. Beavers battling for the #2 spot and Spartans and Knights battling for their playoff lives...what's everyone's thoughts on the games?

I'm taking:

Coe
Dubuque
Loras
Cornell

[StormE]

Simpson has their best offensive night (next to the Grinnell game) with six players scoring in double figures, as the Storm win at Cornell 92-78!!

[Kohawk Krazy]

Big win for the Kohawks today!!! 59-56 over BV.  Jumped out to a 24-6 lead to start the game. 

Five Straight wins and looking for more next week...

[doolittledog]

Wartburg wins at home (well 20 miles from anyway) over Dubuque 69-63.

The refs  called a consistant game.  Both teams suffered from bad calls I thought.  It seemed to me that whoever had the ball was sure to be called for an offensive foul.  Is this normal for the league or just this group of refs???  I'm not sure I've seen that many offensive foul calls in my lifetime much less one game, but maybe I don't really pay attention anymore with the little ones running around and what not.  

WH was right.  Not a whole lot of atmoshere.  A small group of students and what seemed to be like a group of local alumni getting out to see a game that is closer to home than normal.  Dinner afterwards at Mulligans with my Dad, uncle, and a friend...we all were allowed out today by our wives, so all in all we had a fun time out.  

[coebball70]

A question to the basketball pundits on this board....does the IIAC conference tourney include the top 4 team or all teams?  Also, are the teams seeded by season's record or by coach's seeding?  Any predictions on team seeding at this point?  Eager to see if Loras can hold on to the momentum or does Coe and/or BV come roaring back into play...

[Kohawk Krazy]

Top six teams make the tourny....#1 and #2 get first round byes...seeds are based on regular season conference standings.  If the Kohawks go 3-0 on the week and Loras goes 1-2, then Coe has a chance.

Looking at the schedule, I don't see any way my Knights will make it to the conference playoff.      

So, in my best Cub Fan fashion I say, "Just wait until next year!"   

[The Show]

Even with a couple of shake ups tonight, I don't see Loras losing its lead.

History suggests that you just hope you don't end up on BV's side of the bracket come conference tournament time.

[Charlie Kohawk]

I never expected Wartburg would be the team to knock off Loras, but hats off to the Knights. Meanwhile, in Mount Vernon, Cornell scored first, the toilet paper flew, and Coe mopped up from there, cruising to the 33-point victory. Big night for Brungard with 20 points and Kilburg was a man among boys during the 14 minutes the officials let him play. The most glaring stat I saw was Coe going 12-12 at the free-throw line. The Kohawks were shooting just 64% from the line coming in, second to last in the conference.

[youcantseeme]

Didnt see Simspon rising up to knock of BV either!

Tough weekend ahead for the Duhawks......cross-town rival on Friday, then the red-hot Kohawks on Saturday.
